I’m working with The University of Texas School of Public Health on a new research project funded by the National Institutes of Health.

The goal of this new study is to learn how the gay social groups (bears, cubs, twinks, etc) impact the health and HIV/STD risk of gay men. What groups are most at-risk? Could we be tailoring sexual health services better? The results could have a very big, positive impact for our community.

Details are still developing, but in the coming months I’ll be traveling to Houston to work on the project and my census will be published…soon.
